Ultimate SPS Nano... Thoughts & Plans

[Big_Pun]

why not go with a 20L or 20h, but this sounds cool either way, nice to see some fresh ideas

I'd be worried about the nem moving around and stinging your sps. I also don't see sps "filling in" using PC lighting, I'd use T5's and a fan blowing across the top.

No, the anemone and PC will be in/on the 55 gallon fuge, not in/on the naon display. As noted, the nano will have MH.

When do we get to see pics of this thing?

A really nice HQI 150 bulb is the Ushio 20kk. It's pretty sweet without adding actinics etc.

The 150w radium is very nice as well.

do your research either way on sanjay's site. I know to you mentioning that is redundant, but you know, I gotta do it!

www.manhattanreefs.com/lighting for those of you that dont know, GO READ.

I first have to decide to go HQI or Mogul - and that really depends upon the fixture. Unfortunately, this is going into the living room, and Mamma will make THAT decision.

But, yes, both the Ushio and Radium are on a short list.

use the 215 as a planted macro tank that feeds into the 55 refugium the into the nano. all you will need to do is add water daily. but what your doing sound great, can't wait to see pictures.

I love having the large sump on my small tank. Makes the lack of keeping up with water changes much easier. Too bad you already have the nano to setup, I'd think a tank about the size of mine would be perfect for the plans you have.
That should be an incredible nano though once you have it up and going.

Hey Bill I have a "150/175W HL Metal Halide Retrokfit Kit" from Hellolights you can have for cheap, all you need is a new bulb for it if it interests you.
